About the Fellowship

The Carl Menger Fellowship is a one-year, competitive, and online fellowship program awarded to PhD students from any university and any discipline, including but not limited to economics, philosophy, political science, and sociology.

The aim of these fellowships is to introduce students to and encourage them to critically engage key thinkers in political economy that they might not otherwise encounter during their graduate studies. As such, Carl Menger Fellows meet nine times over the fellowship year, participating in online seminar discussions on the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economy. Fellows will join a network of Mercatus students, alumni, and scholars who are conducting and engaging with cutting edge research in contemporary political economy.

The total award of up to $2,250 includes:

• A stipend
• All required readings

Eligibility

• Students that will be enrolled in an accredited PhD program during the upcoming academic year.
• Students that are able to commit to attending 9 monthly online colloquia, each colloquium consisting of two 75-minute discussion sessions during the upcoming academic year.
• Students that have a research or teaching interest that would benefit from a greater understanding of key writings in political economy.
